Description

The winter waves wash a diversity of seashells and other treasures upon the shore. Start indoors with a park ranger to learn about some of the more common shells, their delicate and beautiful structures, and the marine animals that once lived inside them. Then, if weather permits, take a beachcombing stroll along the wilderness shore in search of these natural treasures.

Dress for the outdoors and for walking on sand.
